Unfortunately the HOGG page still doesn't seem to have anything on its left-hand side, although this problem was supposed to have been fixed over 24 hours ago (i.e. Thursday lunchtinme)!

Let’s get together to talk about maps: A visit to the libraries of Geological Society of London
A joint Charles Close Society (CCS) /History of Geology Group (HoGG) visit to the libraries at the Geological Society of London will offer a the chance to explore how the early Ordnance Survey base maps influenced the development of geological mapping, and led to the establishment of the British Geological Survey. On show will be some of the geological maps of Devon and Cornwall produced by the Survey’s first Director General, Henry De la Beche, along with maps produced by another 19th century geologist, William Lonsdale. Also on show will be 19th century geological maps of Ireland and Wales incorporating many of the innovations De la Beche introduced, as well as contemporary early geological maps from Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, France and Belgium.
This half day visit, organised by CCS/HoGG members, geologists and map enthusiasts, Nina Morgan and John Henry, will take place on 31 May 2013, at the Geological Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London. The visit starts at 14:00 and will finish at 17:00. Numbers are limited to 25. The cost will be £7, to include refreshments, and places must be booked in advance. If the visit is oversubscribed, it may be possible to hold an additional morning session starting at 10:00.
